RELOCATING - WHAT REALLY MOVES YOU

Finally, the negotiations are over, your old home is sold; the papers have all been signed for the new home, now you'll relax. Well, that is, after you finish MOVING! Moving, or relocating (moving to a special city) is claimed to be one of the foremost stressful of all human activities. Despite all our modern technology - even within the computer age - it still comes right down to packing tape, rented trucks, and therefore the search for boxes. And once you combine the strain of moving with new jobs, new colleagues, added responsibility at work, and youngsters starting new schools and making new friends, well it's no wonder people find it stressful. But moving doesn't need to be stressful. Check out it this way: you and your family are moving to a beautiful new home, during a new city, with new friends to satisfy and new places to get. With a couple of simple tricks, you'll transform a stressful enter an exciting new chapter in your life.

THE MONEY

When estimating moving expenses most of the people leave immediate costs like rental vehicles, and gas, but forget to include other, particularly long-term expenses. Many of us find they spend extra cash during the primary year of their move. People tend to dine out a touch more - especially within the first months - you will want new things for that new house, plus new accessories for teenagers attending new schools. Confirm you are doing a touch research on the quality of living in your new city; is it higher? If so, think about fuel prices. If you are making the move from South to North there are typically higher electricity & heating bills to think about. Do not be alarmed if you discover that you're moving to a costlier area, as there usually may be a bright side (higher heating bills usually mean lower air-conditioning bills). The trick is to understand this stuff before time.

THE MOVE

By now you have involved a moving budget, allowing your new (higher) salary, expenses the company is covering, and every one the immediate and long-term costs discussed earlier. For those that have chosen the 'Hands-off' Method (hired a moving company, packers, and purchased plane tickets for the family, you ought to still pack your priceless china family heir-looms yourself (to anyone else they're just plates!), pack a Travel Bag (change of garments , toiletries, care kit, music, books, kids' books/toys ), and, sadly, affect the refrigerator (see below) . For those choosing the 'Hands-on' Method, read on.

PACKING

If you're the type of one that stands in wonder when they're packing your groceries at the check-out aisle, you're probably not the gifted packer within the family. And while I cannot describe here the way to be a Zen packer, I can share a couple of tips which will help immensely:

-Your friends may have offered (or may are recruited) to help you progress. Don't ask them to help you pack - this is often not a part of the deal.

- Start about 2 weeks before moving day, and tackle one room at a time, starting with the smallest amount used rooms.

-Pack a Travel Bag (things you'll need immediately before, during and after Moving - toothpaste/toiletries, spare clothes, toys/books for kids)

-Pack heavy things in small boxes, light things in big boxes. Always pack heavy items on rock bottom .

-Like objects go together (books with books, CDs with CDs) - Wrap plates, cups, and breakables in newspaper (mark box FRAGILE)

-FOOD - some food-stuffs are often packed (tin-cans, oil, dried goods,etc) - as this stuff are usually packed last, they will be put in open boxes (no lid), this way they will not produce other boxes stacked on them, and that they can easily be accessed.

-Refrigerator - Start consumption (and not replacing) refrigerated foods about 2 weeks before moving day. If you're just moving across town, most things within the refrigerator can probably be crazy you (though buckets of frozen dessert , gallons of milk, etc. can really make a multitude if spilt). If you're moving across the country, you'll need to consume it or discard it.
